Hi there!      

I’m Katie Zahm - Your Guide

Recently published in Quiltfolk | Colorado Issue 28

  • I’m a wife, mom, and Quilt Pattern Designer living in Denver surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. And, I’ve been there. As a completely self-taught quilter, I know the value of shared information. 

  • After spending years learning on my own, teaching students and working as a professional quilter, I have developed the Quilting Compass—the ultimate resource I wish I’d had when I was starting out.

  • Join me for a year of growth and discovery in quilting—learn step-by-step techniques, explore expert tips, and gain the confidence to bring your projects to life with guidance every step of the way.

The Quilting Compass is an online, inclusive vault of quilting knowledge designed to support quilters at every stage of their journey. When you sign up, either monthly or annually, you gain instant access to all available materials, including a PDF download for each topic, in-depth tutorials, and exclusive guides. Each month, new resources are added to expand your quilting skills—from technique breakdowns to project inspiration. You can also engage directly by commenting on blogs, asking questions, and connecting with a like-minded community. The content is driven by member feedback, so each release is tailored to what you want to learn. With Quilting Compass, you’ll always have a fresh source of inspiration, guidance, and support at your fingertips
